Foreshadowing is demonstrated as the literary device that the authors employ to provide a hint or clue to the readers that would indicate a future event or action that is going to take place in the plot of the story. It primarily assists the author in <u>developing dramatic tension or creating suspense as the readers are uncertain and keep guessing and anticipating what would happen next</u>. This helps in arousing the interest of the audience or readers' and elicit the desired reactions and feeling from them.
For example, In Shakespeare's famous love story 'Ro-m-eo and Ju-lie-t', he provides a clue of Ro-m-eo's ultimate destiny(his commitment of sui-cide) through his statement: “My life were better ended by their hate, than death prorogued, wanting of thy love."
